Delete Google Drive files automatically/ quickly without browser? -


as per post, need script delete google drive files.

i new using google drive realtime api, , have created , saved hundreds of realtime files drive during testing. if go drive in standard way through browser, doesn't load (40 minutes , counting); that's how clogged is.

the files created code: (using google drive api)

createrealtimefile: function(title, callback) { var = this; window.gapi.client.load('drive', 'v2', function() {   var inserthash = {     'resource': {       mimetype: that.mimetype,       title: title     }   };   window.gapi.client.drive.files.insert(inserthash).execute(callback); }); }, 

they saved, i'm assuming, https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/file_id fileid collection of characters such - "0b6sz2swz13-qzlnurlbxq1nuwja"

however, want delete files created yesterday (july 9, 2015 1am, july 10, 2015), not delete of drive! there way this?

well, can't use browser, it'll have script or through terminal. , in fast/automated fashion. grateful!

i don't know how in drive api, on gas, , since can't access files, , can't create script file, here's script created , shared. code in (also below, in case deletes it) logs name of files created till 24 hours after july 9th:

https://script.google.com/macros/d/1q8oljrh6zbifjisy1l9_xfyfwitq_1acb406vq6dt8rpa3twi8k8dadn/edit?template=default&folder=0amulp1ogiwtxuk9pva&usp=drive_web

function deleterecentfiles() {   var oldestdate = new date(2015, 6, 9),       newestdate = new date(2015, 6, 10),       filesroot = driveapp.getfiles(),       currfile, datefilecreated;   while(filesroot.hasnext){     currfile = filesroot.next();     datefilecreated = currfile.getdatecreated();     if( datefilecreated > oldestdate && datefilecreated < newestdate ){       logger.log(currfile.getname());       // uncomment send file trash bin       //currfile.settrashed(true);     }   } } 

it won't able delete files in first run, after timeouts (6 minutes), run again after 6 minutes untill files deleted.
